Surry Hills Coffee | Brunch Miami

rated by maryam • food critic 4 months ago

Surry Hills was so memorable I barely captured any photos or video, I just wanted to be in it. The space is calm and confident, and you can feel how intentional everything is, inside and out. Even the tiny things are dialed in, like the soap and lotion in the bathroom, and the specialty dog treats that make it feel genuinely welcoming. They’ve been recognized by The World’s 100 Best Coffee Shops, and once you sit down, you get why.  Now the food and coffee. Their coffee is perfectly dialed in, smooth, balanced, and consistent, the kind of flat white that tastes like someone actually cared about ratio, texture, and temperature, not just speed. The almond croissant was flawless, soft and gooey inside, with that crunchy almond top that gives you the perfect snap in every bite.  And then the savory stuff surprised me in the best way. The avocado toast has that super satisfying crunch and texture, and it tastes like a real Australian brunch plate, not the watered down version. The quinoa salad with chicken was a wow too, hearty but still fresh, with edamame, greens, seeds, and that dukkah vibe that makes it feel intentional instead of just “healthy.” They got it all right, the coffee, the food, the details, and the energy.

I found this little spot while doing patient visits in the area. I had 30 minutes and wanted to grab coffee from a smaller business. Everything about this place is just right. The staff are friendly, attentive and helpful. I ordered their coldbrew on the rocks as I needed to experience orange zest and nutmeg in coffee. I also asked about their quick GF options and they guided me towards the fritatta! Both options were worth ordering. The cold foam on the coldbrew is thick, fluffy and rich with a hint of sweetness. The scent of the orange zest and nutmeg as you sip somehow sweetens the coffee (even though there is no sweetener). The cold brew itself was smoothe and rich. Do NOT drink this from a straw, you have to sip from the cup to get the perfect balance from the nutmeg/zest, the coldfoam snd coffee. I promise you, you will thank me later! Now, onto the fritatta: she's a thicc girl. Wholesome, savory and well balanced. I couldn't have asked for a better 'on the go' breakfast option. If you have gluten allergies, this is your friend! All in all, HIGHLY recommend.

Nice café with food that feels thoughtfully made and genuinely tasty. You can tell there’s real effort behind the menu, and overall the quality is solid. That said, the pricing is on the higher side. I’d say $16–$18 per item feels reasonable for what you get, but the croissant at $22 is a bit hard to justify. It’s good, but not quite at that price point. Overall, a pleasant spot worth visiting if you don’t mind paying a premium.

If you’re looking for one of those spots in Miami that actually delivers on both coffee and brunch, Surry Hills Coffee is seriously worth the visit. The food was excellent, the coffee was on point, and the whole place has that balance between quality and relaxed energy that’s hard to find lately. The Tuna Melt Sandwich was ridiculously good. Perfectly toasted, flavorful, comforting without feeling heavy. Easily one of the best brunch sandwiches I’ve had in a while. But honestly, what made the experience stand out was Diego, the barista. Every good café talks about hospitality, but this guy actually embodies it. Attentive, welcoming, sharp, genuinely caring about the customer experience without making it feel forced. The kind of person every coffee shop wishes they had representing their brand. Great service changes the entire perception of a place, and Diego elevated the whole experience. Excellent food, excellent coffee, excellent service. You leave understanding why people come back.

Delicious fresh and eclectic choices. The avocado toast had a perfectly soft boiled egg and a delightful little peanut/pumpkin seed seasoning. The iced green tea matcha was also refreshing. The people are kind and helpful. I didn’t see any employees on their phones. Will come back when I’m in Miami again.
